Water, because electrolysis is using electricity to break the bond of water to release 2 Hydrogens and the 1 Oxygen.
C) powdered sugar in hot water because the sugar is already broken so it would be more faster than sugar cube in hot water
Answer:
New pH = 3.84
Explanation:
First of all we may think that if the buffer has pH 3.98 and we're adding H⁺, pH's buffer will be lower, as the [H⁺] is been increased.
Let's determine the moles of each compound:
0.23 M . 1.3L = 0.299 moles of NaBz
0.38 M . 1.3L = 0.494 moles of HBz
We add 0.058 of HCl, which is the same as 0.058 moles of H⁻
HCl → H⁺ + Cl⁻
As we add the moles of protons, these are going to react to the Bz⁻
In the buffer system we have these dissociations:
NaBz → Na⁺ + Bz⁻
HBz → H⁺ + Bz⁻
So, as we add protons, we have a new equilibrium:
Bz⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ HBz
In 0.299 0.058 0.494
Eq 0.241 - 0.552
Protons are substracted to benzoate, so the [HBz] is now higher than before. We calculate the new pH, with the Henderson Hasselbach equation
pH = pKa + log (Bz⁻/HBz)
pH = 4.20 + log (0.241 / 0.552) → 3.84
